A greasy pauper preaching to your newborns? Downright child abuse!
Yet such an occurrence takes place in a new clip from Jason Eisner’s HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN, which is currently available via VOD. The exploitation send-up then sees limited release on May 6th.
On the verge of tears, listen to a hilarious sermon from the Hobo, in which he professes to a room full a babies the horrors of growing up in a slum. “You’re likely to wind up selling your body on the streets or shooting dope from needles at a bus stop…” Encouraging words, for sure!
With Gregory Smith, Molly Dunsworth, Brian Downey, Nick Bateman, and Jeremy Akerman all lending support:
A train pulls into its final station and a Hobo hops from a freight car. He has dreams of a fresh life in a new city, but finds himself trapped in an urban hell instead. A city where criminals rule the streets, landlords evict single mothers in the middle of the night, and where the city’s crime boss, The Drake, reigns supreme with his sadistic, homeless-killing sons, Slick & Ivan. Through the chaos, the Hobo comes across a shop window displaying a second hand lawn mower and a shotgun, and decides it’s time to cut the grass, make the city beautiful and start a new way of life. But after witnessing the brutality that encompasses this city, he realizes the only way to make a difference in this place is with a gun in his hand and two shells in its chamber.
